It was a beautiful, sunny day at the airport as the day began with a pancake breakfast. The theme was World War II. There were vehicles and displays of aircraft on hand with many interesting items for both children and adults. There was also anticipation in the air for the guests who would soon arrive. Once breakfast was complete there was a flag ceremony conducted by the American Legion.

The Morgan Airport is planning a fly-in at the airport for June 4. The event will have displays of World War II vehicles including Jeeps, motorcycles, and airplanes. It is a chance for residents to see the aircraft of World War II up close.
